How technically difficult would it be to remove Vidalia from an already-packaged TBB? (Ideally something that could be put into a shell script.) Basically what I want is a more-current-than-ESR10 browser that uses a system-installed & -configured Tor instance.

I wouldn't miss the Torbutton UI, either (it should just use Tor all the time).

You could change the startup scripts to do all the launching that Vidalia does, check error codes, etc.

But before doing that, you should check out TBB 3.0: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-browser-bundle-30alpha2-released and see if it is already what you wanted.
